Electrical Safety Tips

Never insert any metal objects into an appliance, such as a toaster, without first disconnecting it.

Be careful not to overload circuits.

Keep ladders, antennas and kites away from power lines.

Never approach a downed power line. Warn others to stay away and call your electric company.

Never touch anyone who is in contact with a power source.

Install smoke detectors on every level of your home and outside each sleeping area. If the batteries are supposed to be changed in your smoke detector, change them twice a year when the time changes (Spring and Fall).

Consider installing a carbon monoxide alarm to protect you against this odorless gas.

Don’t overload outlets by plugging too many appliances into one outlet.
